Do you use newspaper? I do and I get all kinds of funky colors on my Albinos and white bottom snakes from the ink on it. If the snake is acting healthy and is eating normal I would try and wait it out for a shed cycle. That would be the safest and most inexpensive way to see. If the snake is acting weird or not eating normal isolate it and consider the vet. But the vet is the last thing I would consider unless you know an excellent one. And for some funny reason when you are bringing your snake in they like to double the price on your visit. It is funny. The guy I see for my dog wont charge me for an office visit for Thunders annual check up but if I want to bring a python in it is 80.00 to walk it through the door. And then he admits he does not a thing about them. But I do consider him an excellent vet probably the best one I have ever gone to in Denver CO.



Regards,

Bill
